Awesome bike.
The Cafe bikes are very new to me, got introduced to them via the staff at Cafe Racer... dig the look and I like anything you do yourself and not being the exact same thing everyone else is riding.
Finally go to see the documentary Cafe Society, was a real eye opener seeing where modern sport bikes came from.

You title leads me to believe I am missing the first part of a two part post....
Nice bike, what did you pull those 7-spokes off of? They are a nice touch

At a certain age, regardless of the ccs, things get costly.

Re: and my cafe project
I would love to get an older, bigger bike, but as things are down here, finding parts is both very hard and expensive, everything has to be imported and is not worth the hassle for me.

Re: and my cafe project
yeah i bought the seat off of ebay. it was the most expensive part of the bike. $400. the bike only cost me $200. but yeah it makes the bike. its real high quality copy of the original guillardi seat, made by classic cycle city. thanks for all the nice words. i will be starting to build a cb350 twin that i just bought. look out for build pics on that. should be really cool cause its smaller and more nimble.
